Video from Grand Isle right now is nasty, blowing to at least 148 until the wind gauge broke.

Been checking Marine Traffic & Vessel Finder the last 2 days watching where my sons ship is.
They were supposed to enter the Sabine Pass & Port Arthur 2 days ago.
Instead they’ve been sitting 50 miles offshore out of harms way.

Which is a good call.
25 years ago my sister was in NOAA on a research boat in the Caribbean. They were in a harbor somewhere in MEX when a crappily flagged tanker slipped anchor and driftrammed them at night. |

Happened to me when I was in the Navy. Our amphibious landing ship was anchored along with many merchant ships in a Sicily Harbor during a violent storm. One of the freighters slipped anchor and crashed into our bow. We radioed the rest of our anchored squadron that it was heading there way. One got underway to move out of the way... and then ran aground or was blown aground by the winds. Took Navy salvage a few days to drag that LPH off the sand bar. What a friggen mess. |

Slipped anchor? Or dragged?
Slipping anchor in my book was actually letting go, with a buoy to recover the cable, and anchor. As opposed to weighing, or taking anchor onboard and stowing.....

Dragged in my story.
I have another anchor story in my career. Our boat dropped the hook in water deeper than our anchor chain was long. We lost the whole rig. Then we did the same exact thing with our remaining anchor. This was off the island of Crete. Had to go to the nearest Navy yard to get new anchors and chain. |

Can't believe the capt. did that and didn't know the length of the chain and depth of the water.
Sounds like something I would do. |

Have seen it before. Scary stuff
Your lucky when the breakaway link works and you just loose anchor and chain. When the link doesn’t break you beercan the windlass. It gets expensive.
One time in 1991 in Crete my ship stopped the anchor on the last shot the 13 th. 90’ per shot. It’s very deep around Crete we were in 400 ft. Usually most Anchorage’s are about 90 to 120 ‘.

I’ve got about 8” in the newer part of my cellar. Fortunately the space is mostly unfinished but it was a mess and will be fun to clean up. Everything goes might be the ticket. |

The $7K we spent on 2 separate, industrial sump pump setups paid for itself last night.
We used a company called Dry Basement Systems. Jackhammered the basement floor and put in 2, 4' cisterns, plumbed to PVC and run outside. One is at the bottom of the bulkhead. The other is in the basement of the new addition. There are commercial grade pumps in each cistern.
We could here both of them kicking on all night. Dry basement this morning. Not a drop of moisture.

No boat, back in the suds.

Do they have a website? Places here are really backed up.
Hired a crew to do cleanup today. Cost a small fortune but it was worth it. |
